Unit Memory Verse: "For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death until He comes (again)."

1 Corinthians 11:26

Before you accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, there was a time when you walked around in sin (Ephesians 2:1). You lived in the lies and the habits of the sinful ways. Each day instead of getting stronger, your spirit became weaker and weaker preparing you for death and hell.

When you asked Jesus into your heart something happened in Heaven. A book called the Lamb`s Book of Life was opened in Heaven and your name was written in the book. Then the angels began to sing and rejoice. Jesus started to build your Heavenly home, and you know what? No one complained about the extra work, because they were building it for a child God`s. Your weak and dying spirit that your body had to carry around for so long, suddenly got stronger and alive because you found strength at the Cross of Jesus!

Meanwhile, back here on earth, changes took place as well. You were able to stop doing some things that you used to do. Your “old friends” come around and want you to do the things that you used to do, but this time you don`t want to sin. The strength that you found at the cross is helped you to stop sinning. You have God`s ideas inside of you now to help you make the right choices. Ephesians 3:16 “…strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man.”

You choose not to listen to sinful talk and you walk away from temptation. You feel like you are winning battles instead of always getting kicked in the head like you were before. How is that possible? “I still look the same. I still eat the same foods.” How is it that now you win battles?

Because Jesus is living in you now and He will give you the strength and answers to fight against the devil and sin.

Why do we take part in the communion service? Because of love and obedience to Jesus Christ who told us to do this in remembrance of Him until He comes again. Communion: I Corinthians 11:23
